I'm genuinely tired of this - it's time to thank Jofra for all the brilliant work he did in 2019 and draw a line under this. We all know how hard the Indian Franchises work their players - it's not a case of playing alternative matches as he did for England in the West Indies. Because Jofra has missed so much first class cricket over the last few years it is essential he play some of the matches early season - you simply can't pick him for a five day test on the basis of a few overs in IPL matches. I don't want this saga to continue much more because I'm really bored
